Concept: Like the characters in our location, we delved into the world of human thinking. At the core of our work is a real process of studying the brain by real scientists. We've turned their thinking inside out and, just as the brain forms new neural connections, we've woven a tapestry that visualizes the process of its functioning.

Artistic solution: We created a Gobelin based on a scientist's verbalization every thought during his work process. By recording his words, emotions and actions, we developed a code to translate this data into a mental map, visualizing the brain’s workings. The space was designed to evoke a medical, surgical atmosphere, enhancing the immersion.

Concept: In this performance, the act of kneading dough becomes both ritual and metaphor. Throughout the piece, performers attempt to create a “kolobok” — a round bread figure that, in our narrative, symbolizes the missing head of a prisoner from the previous chapter. At the same time, it embodies the collective consciousness of society.

The performance space is transformed into a sonic instrument: microphones are attached to the table, utensils, and kitchen tools, amplifying every sound. These raw noises are then picked up and developed by a composer in real time, so that the process of making dough becomes a live musical composition.

As the work unfolds, performers begin to vocalize the Old Slavic alphabet, exploring and rediscovering it through voice. This act of “re-assembling language” parallels the physical creation of the kolobok — a “new head,” a “new consciousness” for society. In shaping it, we seek to rework the past and imagine a different destiny for our collective future.
